Hi,
I have made the following draft for documenting this issue. A review
would certainly be welcome. :)
If there are any things on the packaging side (i.e. Debian-specific
changes since 2.2) that users should be aware of, please do let me know
as I am currently not aware of issues there.
Thanks,
~Niels
